In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explore the psychology and biology of desire, love and attachment. I explain how childhood attachment styles can shape adult romantic relationships and how the brain and body systems influence emotional bonds. I also discuss supplements that may support a healthy libido and practical, science-based tools for understanding your relationship patterns and building stronger relationships.
